About Dell

Dell Lawson is a licensed professional counselor practicing in Georgia who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and other life transitions.

Background and approach

With 25 years of clinical experience, she focuses on practical coping skills, clearer communication, and rebuilding self-esteem so clients can manage grief, parenting challenges, anger, and changes that accompany midlife or major life events. Dell blends client-centered listening with evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness to tailor care to each person's needs.

Her work also addresses family-related concerns including family of origin issues, divorce and separation, fatherhood topics, and financial stress, as well as specific situations like impulses, commitment struggles, isolation, and veteran-related matters. She seeks to create an empathic, collaborative space where clients explore emotions, develop resilience, and identify realistic steps forward.

Clients can expect a strengths-oriented approach that aims to clarify goals and build everyday tools for coping and problem solving. Dell frames progress as a partnership, adapting techniques to fit each individual's circumstances and priorities while supporting sustainable change.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care



Dell commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered therapy in her online practice. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and developing practical strategies to change them, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day difficulties. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, helping clients explore their values and build on personal strengths to navigate relationship and life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Dell explores a client's goals, preferences, and needs and then tailors methods collaboratively, often combining techniques to match what will be most useful for the situation.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These options make it possible to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access support from home while working with a licensed professional who adapts therapeutic tools for remote formats.
